Public Charity

Our Mission/How we are involved with horses:
HPL is a 5(c)3 organization, located at the historic Churches Ranch in Arvada, Colorado at 17999 W 60th Ave; 80403. Founded in 1994, HPL provides a home for horses, donkeys and mules whose owners have surrendered them, as well as those seized by court orders or humane societies. The Horse Protection League provides equines with a balanced diet, medical and farrier care, training, a social life, and opportunities to graze in open pasture.

Our mission at The HPL is to provide a safe haven for equines in need, and to work towards ending the mistreatment and neglect of horses and other equines. We are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming equines that have been abused, abandoned or neglected, and to provide them with the necessary care, love and attention they need to thrive.

We believe that building a strong community through education and advocacy is key to protecting these magnificent animals. We are committed to educating the public about responsible equine ownership, and to advocating for equine welfare at the local, state, and national levels.
